IS230TRLSH1F - Relay Output Assembly Module

Functional Description

IS230TRLSH1F is a Relay Output Assembly Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe series used in GE Distributed Turbine Control Systems. A relay output assembly module is an electronic device used in automation and control systems to provide switching capabilities. It typically consists of multiple relays, which are electrically operated switches that can control the flow of current in a circuit.

The relay output assembly module is designed to interface with a controller or a central control system. The relays within the module are connected to the output terminals, and when the controller sends a signal to the module, it activates the corresponding relay(s), thereby turning on or off the connected devices or equipment. These modules are commonly used in various applications, such as industrial automation, building management systems, process control, and home automation. They are particularly useful when there is a need to switch high currents or control multiple devices simultaneously.

Key Features & Functions

Relay output assembly modules serve several functions in automation and control systems. Here are some of their key functions:

• Switching and Control: The primary function of a relay output assembly module is to switch electrical loads on or off. When a control signal is received from a controller or a central control system, the module activates the relays, allowing the flow of current to the connected devices or equipment.
• Interface with Control Systems: These modules act as an interface between the control system and the devices being controlled. They provide a means for the control system to communicate and command the activation or deactivation of specific outputs.
• Signal Amplification and Isolation: Relay output assembly modules often provide signal amplification and isolation capabilities. They can boost weak control signals received from the controller and isolate the control circuitry from the high-voltage or high-current devices being controlled. This isolation helps protect sensitive control components from potential electrical disturbances.
• Multiple Output Control: These modules typically feature multiple relay outputs, allowing control over multiple devices or equipment simultaneously. Each relay can be independently controlled, providing flexibility in managing various electrical loads.
• Protection and Monitoring: Relay output assembly modules may incorporate protective features to safeguard the controlled devices or equipment. These features can include overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal protection, among others. Additionally, some modules offer monitoring functions to detect faults or abnormal conditions in the controlled circuitry.
• Diagnostic and Status Indication: Some relay output assembly modules include diagnostic features to monitor the status of the relays and the overall module's health. These modules may provide LED indicators or other means of visual feedback to indicate the operational status of each relay output.
